Tiny Love Wonder Wheel: this toy for very young children is for car trips only as a "repetitive noise" is involved.

Tomy's Gearation: kids of all ages will enjoy creating a working mechanism with the magnet-backed gears that attach to the magnetic board.

Any of these suggestions are more fun than my standby: having the kids McGuyver something with an old cough drop, a hair band and assorted grocery receipts and should help get you arrival at your final destination with minimal passenger meltdowns.

We take fairly frequent long car trips (3 hours or more at least a few times a year), and we don't have any "gadgets" to entertain our children. The only exception is if we are going to be doing a substantial amount of driving at night, after dark, we bring the DVD player, but we have only ever used it in the car once.

I think if you allow the gadgets, they will use them instead of figuring out something else to do. Long car trips can be a great time for creativity and family time, not time to isolate yourself with a gadget. I won't even allow ear phones and iPods - we can all listen to music together.

When I was little and my family would take long trips, I would have crayons and coloring books, dolls, and would spend lots of time just looking out the window watching the world go by and learning the geography of different areas. My kids seem to be doing just fine with this so far, and I see no "gadgets" for us in the future.
